Pōkeno Whisky, New Zealand’s rising whisky star, is starring in a groundbreaking global study led by food scientist Dr. Aline Bortoletto, comparing whiskies from eight continents—including one that chilled in Antarctica—to uncover how climate shapes flavor and chemistry. Chosen by London’s Daniel Monk for The 8 Continent Series, Pōkeno stands out for its authentic Kiwi roots, local timber, and Scottish expertise. Meanwhile, the distillery’s wildly popular Ringbearer collaboration—crafted for the 25th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings, using rare casks and secured with Warner Bros. approval—is already a global collector’s item. Pōkeno’s next moves? Launching a whisky club and experimenting with native New Zealand woods like kahikatea, though sourcing them remains a challenge.
